I am desperate because i need to know if the Corsair CX600M will run the r7 260x crossfire...

And the r7 260x are XFX 1GB Core Edition
 
Solution
that's depend on your system..

let's see..

a system equipped with
Processor: intel i7 3960X EE => Six core intel cpu with 130Watt TDP.
motherboard: Rampage IV Extreme
storage: Corsair SSD
graphic cards: 2x Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB OC => note this one is OC factory edition..

The system above only consume 275 watt when idle and 474 watt while stressing with 3d mark.
Even cx series is not best PSU, but you still have plenty headroom to run your crossfire setup in your computer with CX600M..

Can you, YES for the excellent reasons given above. (Provided that your CPU is still providing the 600W of power on the rails that you need) The PSU claims to provide 552 W on it's 12V + rail. (http://files.guru3d.com/pub/games/PC/guru3d/img-cache/CX600MPK.txt)

Should you, NO. The Corsair PSU is decent, but not built for the hammering it will get from the transient spikes produced by crossfire CPUs.
